Figure Urban areas at risk of river flooding In many parts of Europe, the risk of river flooding is expected to increase; in north-eastern Europe, the probability of floods is expected to fall. Further to climate exposure, the placement of many new urban areas and the accumulation of assets in low-lying areas close to rivers has intensified the sensitivity to river floods. The map shows the low-lying urban areas potentially threatened by river flooding in a one-in-a-century flood event, both for the current period and in the projected future. However, the map does not take into account eventual future changes in urban land-take, nor any adaptation measures like flood defences or flood retention that may lower the risk.
Figure Vulnerable people — the elderly are considered to be a group more sensitive to various climatic stress factors than people of a working age The map shows the share of elderly people (>= 65 years) within a city (represented by the dot colours) to the total population (represented by dot size).
Figure Percentage of the EU urban population exposed to SO2 concentrations over the daily average limit value for protection of human health, 2002–2011 Monitoring data from AirBase provide the basis for estimating the European population's exposure to exceedances of the SO2 limit value of 125 µg/m3 as a daily average. According to the relevant directive, this limit value should not to be exceeded on more than three days in a year and was to be met by 2005.
Figure Human resources — age dependency index, 2004 The map shows an index on demographic dependency for European cites
Figure Economic determinant — GDP per capita figures for European cities, 2004 (EUR) The map shows the GDP per capita for European cites
Figure Equity — percentage of women among elected city representatives, 2004 The map shows the proportion of women who are elected as city representatives
Figure Perceptions on 'city committed to fight against climate change' (synthetic index 0–100), 2009 The map shows the perception of the cities’ population how committed the city’s administration is in its fight against climate change
Figure Potential inundation exposure for coastal cities due to projected sea level rise and storm surge events The map shows the proportion of the city area (UMZ inside the core city) that would be affected by potential inundation caused by a sea level rise of 1m.
Figure Degree of mean soil sealing per city — share of cities per class per country The diagram shows the proportion of cities per country that falls in a particular class regarding the degree of average soil sealing.
Figure Percentage of population aged ≥ 65 — share of cities per class per country The diagram shows the proportion of cities per country that fall in a particular class regarding the share of citizens which are older than 64 years.
